Chapter 185: Dismantling the Abalone Breeding Raft

Li Duoyu collected a few bunches of oysters.

Saw a place not far from him, that is, the three hundred acres of abalone breeding raft. There were many large and small fishing boats busy there, including Uncle San's tugboat.

 The fishing boat is not approaching yet.

Li Duoyu found that everyone on the abalone breeding raft was acquaintances.

Neighbor Lao Hu,

 Old man Mi, the fishmonger,

 The third uncle’s family,

 Uncle’s family,

 The three brothers Shuguang, Yuanguang and Qingguang are all here.

 After seeing Li Duoyu sailing over.

Li Shuguang was the first to shout: "Duoyu, when will you come back?"

 “I just arrived at noon.”

Hu Zhizhong, the eldest son of the old Hu family next door, put down what he was doing and rocked the boat after seeing Li Duoyu.

 “There are so many fish, long time no see.”

Li Duoyu looked at the young man in front of him and frowned slightly. After looking at Lao Hu on the boat, he suddenly remembered who he was.

“Brother Zhong, when did you come back?”

Hu Zhizhong frowned and said, "Did you forget about me just now?"

"How is it possible? You were the one who took us to play when we were kids."

To be honest, Li Duoyu almost didn't recognize him just now. If his past life was included, Li Duoyu hadn't seen him for more than forty years, so naturally he couldn't remember what he looked like.

Hu Zhizhong looked at Li Duoyu and said, "I can't believe that I haven't seen you for more than two years. You have changed so much that you are now the village director."

 “Did you vote for me?”

"That's for sure. After so many years as a neighbor, if I didn't vote for you, who would I vote for?"

Li Duoyu pointed to the breeding raft in front of him: "Did you contract the twenty acres that your father bought?"

 “That’s right, I’m the one who undertook it.”

 “You no longer sell Balangyu, do you plan to live on the island permanently?”

Hu Zhizhong shook his head and said: "I am tired of carrying the burden for so many years. I have built a store in the county and plan to open a dry goods store. I may live in the county in the future."

 Li Duoyu smiled and said, "It's good to open a store."

In Li Duoyu’s memory, in this era, it was quite profitable to open a store, and the prospects for dry goods stores were very good.

Hu Zhizhong said: "If there are good products in the future, remember to keep an eye on me. Your kelp sold very well last time. Many customers wanted to buy more, but it's a pity that they are out of stock."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Last year, there were only thirty acres, and the yield was not much. It was sold out immediately. This year, everyone has raised it, so there will be no shortage of goods."

 The two chatted for a while.

Hu Zhizhong took out a small red envelope and stuffed it into Li Duoyu's hand: "By the way, I forgot about your child's full month, so you can keep this."

 Li Duoyu hurriedly retreated.

“No need, I didn’t even give you any red envelopes when your two children were one month old.”

Hu Zhizhong sighed: "Both of my two girls are girls. Besides, when they were one month old, you and Xiaoying were still in junior high school."

  "Hurry up and keep it, please give me some thought."

Seeing how polite he was, Li Duoyu accepted the red envelope and said, "When your next child is one month old, I will give it back to you."

Hu Zhizhong lamented: "How dare you give birth? Nowadays, no one in the city is allowed to have a second child. The third child will probably destroy your family."

Li Duoyu smiled.

 If I remember correctly, Hu Zhizhong was quite patriarchal. He seemed to have been fined a lot of money for having a third child.

 After the two chatted for a while.

Li Duoyu began to help dismantle abalone breeding rafts.

Abalone farming rafts are very different from kelp farming rafts. Abalone farming rafts have a lot of bamboo and foam floats that people can walk on, a bit like dense fishing rafts.

 It would be best to convert abalone breeding rafts into oyster breeding rafts. Unfortunately, the number of oyster seedlings is limited, so everyone can only raise kelp.

 To change the abalone breeding raft into a kelp breeding raft, many moso bamboos and plastic cylindrical floats have to be removed, leaving only part of the floats and main ropes.

 So everyone’s main job now is to dismantle the moso bamboo and clean the barnacles and mussels on the floating ball.

 As for the dismantled moso bamboos, we plan to follow Li Duoyu’s example and insert them all on the tidal flats, where they can be used to dry kelp and keep oysters alive.

At present, almost all the hundreds of acres of land on the tidal flat have been contracted by Li Duoyu and his relatives.

Take advantage of the gap when the tugboat returns to the port to unload the cargo.

The three brothers from the uncle's family sailed to Li Duoyu's side and said, "Duoyu, I heard that you have been called to a meeting in the county again."

"Wang Dapao has been the captain of the brigade for so many years, but he has never gone to the county to hold a few meetings. You have only been the village director for so long, and you have held so many meetings." The youngest Qingguang asked:

“Brother Duoyu, what kind of meeting are you attending this time?”

 Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Commendation meeting."

 “Are you commended again?” Li Qingguang looked surprised.

Li Duoyu nodded and said, "That's for sure. I was rated advanced this time."

After hearing this, Lao Li, who was taking a break smoking a cigarette, was happy, but he didn't show any excitement.

Li Shuguang said with emotion: "Comparing people with others is so irritating. My father has been a fishery captain for so many years, and he has only been rated as advanced once. The certificate of award is still hanging in the middle of the hall of my house. How many months have you been the village director?" , I was rated as advanced, so I have to treat him to dinner.”

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "No problem. When the time comes, Dongqing and I will invite you together."

Li Shuguang stared: "Has Dongqing advanced too?"

"Um."

 Li Duoyu nodded.

 “Damn it, your family has already entered two at a time.”

Li Shuguang continued: "By the way, Shitou and Tang Ping have been urging me for the past two days, asking when to arrange for them to go fishing."

 Li Duoyu thought for a moment,

“We’ll check the weather in the next two days. If the northeast wind doesn’t come, we’ll take them with us to go fishing together in two days.”

"Can."

Li Shuguang continued: "By the way, the shad we caught at this time last year seems to be back again. Do you want to try it again?"

Last time at Wujiangkou,

 The money fish was not caught either.

  Hands were not caught either.

  I do feel a little resentful.

Li Duoyu also plans to try again. That place is not the working area of ​​their village. They were evicted once last year.

If we go again this year, the other party probably won’t be polite to them.

However, Li Duoyu also thought of a way. When the time comes, he will bring Zhao Jialu from the fishery bureau. No matter how tough the villagers are, if they encounter those who are in charge of them, they will probably only break their teeth and swallow them.

Li Shuguang asked:

“By the way, Duoyu, I remember you planted kelp seedlings in October last year. When will we plant kelp seedlings this year?”

 Li Duoyu measured the seawater temperature with his hands.

 It will probably be like this for more than 20 degrees.

Although it is already October, almost everyone present is still wearing short-sleeves.

“It’s probably going to be a late winter this year, maybe mid-December.”

 “Will it affect the kelp if it is so late?”

Li Duoyu replied: "If the kelp wants to grow, it will only take one or two months. At least this month, what we have to worry about is the typhoon."

"That's good."

 Not long after.

Uncle San’s tugboat came back again, and everyone began to return to their respective farming rafts to continue dismantling moso bamboo.

Li Duoyu asked Chen Wenchao, "Have you been sleeping on the fishing raft these two days?"

"ah."

Chen Wenchao quickly replied: "In the past two days, I was the only one sleeping on the fishing raft, and Xiaolan didn't come."

 Chen Wenchao didn't say anything, and Li Duoyu had almost forgotten this incident. It seemed that the last time he bumped into them had brought a lot of psychological shadow to Chen Wenchao.

Chen Wenchao continued: "Brother Yu, haven't you been out for a meeting these two days? I slept on the fishing raft and deliberately turned out the lights. I thought someone would come and steal it, but after waiting for two days, there was no sign."

Li Duoyu replied: "You don't have to keep watch at night."

 “Why don’t you keep it?”

 “I’ll explain it to you later.”

At present, Li Duoyu can confirm with a high probability that the boat that stole his oysters is not from Dandan Island, but there should be an internal agent on the island.

 Don't be in a hurry now. When Manager An comes, ask him. Maybe you will have clues.

 Actually, Li Duoyu hoped that they would steal again, and it would be best if they could catch him.

 At that time, it will no longer be a matter of losing one or two acres of oysters. The exact number of acres lost depends entirely on his decision.

 Asking for monthly votes and recommendation votes.
